ABOUT OUR
CRAFT BEER TOURS
EXPERIENCE THE BEST CRAFT BEERS MADE IN MANCHESTER
Our craft beer tours operate every Friday & Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm. One of our friendly guides will take craft beer lovers on an unforgettable journey through Manchester, introducing you to local experts who will offer a fascinating insight into their produce. Private tours can also be arranged on request, please contact us for more information. Each tour lasts around three hours, beginning and ending in Manchester city centre. We visit both craft beer bars and breweries, sampling a variety of locally produced beers. Our venues are not always open to the public but with our unique tour, you will get to enjoy an unrivalled look at the exciting Manchester beer scene, and most importantly of all, taste its fantastic range! Our tours will operate in any conditions so please dress appropriately for the notorious Manchester weather. Please be aware that we walk between venues, although it is mainly flat and not excessively taxing.WHAT YOU GET ON OUR CRAFT BEER TOURS
A three-hour guided tour & tasting experience around the city. Taste 10-12 craft beers (1/3 pints) along the way and discover the best craft beer Manchester has to offer. An expert from the venue will talk you through each beer explaining full details behind the taste, the history, the process and the ingredients of each beer. Visit four venues, including Manchester based microbreweries and specialist craft beer bars. We pride ourselves on providing a unique lineup of venues, each highlighting something different at each stop. All the beer you taste will be unique to the venue and you will learn about each venue and their history. The microbreweries we visit aren’t always open to the public so it is a great chance for you to get inside and taste produce as fresh as it gets!

VENUES WE WORK WITH

57 THOMAS ST
Operated by the award-winning Marble Brewery, 57 Thomas Street provides the perfect central location to finish our tour with its range of locally-brewed beers. The brewery itself is located just down the road and its changing range of beers on offer means you will always be able to enjoy something different. At Craft Beer Tour Manchester, we love the variety on offer and this is reflected in both our tour, and at 57 Thomas Street on any occasion!
RUNAWAY BREWERY
Runaway Brewery, tucked away between the arches past the city’s Northern Quarter, produces high-quality modern beer including its own IPA, Pale Ale, American Brown Ale and Smoked Porter. Join us as we visit the micro-brewery in full flow, tasting its fine produce in full view of the brewing process itself!
BEATNIKZ REPUBLIC
Beatnikz are one of the most up and coming breweries out there and we are proud to work them as part of our tour. The Beatnikz tap house, only opened in 2018, opens their doors to us displaying some of their fantastic produce. Join us to hear a Beatnikz expert take you through the resident beers and you won’t be disappointed.
